The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 36.0 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 33.9 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Em your answer in m.)

previous problem: A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 3.85 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.99 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? New problem Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 4.73 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 7.57 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x will the block reverse direction and start sliding back down? -3.72 m 3.72 m 2.92 m -2.92 m
Current Attempt in Progress A particle, starting from point A in the drawing (the height at A is 3.00 m), is projected down the curved runway. Upon leaving the runway at point B, the particle is traveling straight upward and reaches a height of 6.39 above the floor before falling back down. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the speed of the particle at point A. B

Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -2.7 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? 8.79 m/s 5.86 m/s 4.14 m/s 2.90 m/s

A helicopter is dellvering food in an emergency situation, where it is difficult to land. The engineer is tasked with determining what heights the package could be dropped without breaking. She knows that if the package strikes the ground faster than the critical speed of 62.0mph, then the package will break. Neglect drag At what height would the package hit the ground with the critical speed (in given units? Could the package be safely dropped from a height of 30m? yes no
Neglecting friction and air resistance, a car with an initial velocity of 43.1 km/h coasts up a hill and comes to stop at the hill's top. What must be the height of the hill (in meters)? Hint: you do not need the car's mass to solve this problem, but if interested to solve the problem using kinetic and potential energies you can use a mass of 2000kg for the car.
While at a water park, Hunter tries the water slide. The starting point is 13.0 m above the ground. He pushes off with an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. If the slide is frictionless, how fast will Hunter be traveling at the bottom?
